Welcome to the website of Bishopsteignton Preschool Playgroup

“The quality of teaching and relationships between staff and children are very good” OFSTED October 2015.

We are a charity-run preschool, set up by members of the community in 1981. Since that time, we have run our sessions from various village buildings, before finally housing ourselves in a permanent unit in the grounds of the village primary school in 1994. You can find us in a quiet corner of the village, yet close to the centre and this offers the opportunity for visits to explore and forge closer links with our local community.

Our preschool is well resourced for both indoor and outdoor play, with a fantastic newly refurbished outside area. The day to day running is in the hands of our experienced and well-qualified staff who support and nurture all children who attend.

Meanwhile behind the scenes, organisation of the preschool is overseen by a voluntary committee of parents which ensures that all major decision making is in the hands of the parents whose children attend the preschool. We actively encourage our parents to play a role in management and fundraising as much as possible and you can find out more about this in our Get Involved section of the website.
